In Meredith, California (a very small town) there was no doctor (only once a week on Wednesdays would a doctor fly in) , so Maloney (a “Practical Nurse”) would take his place for the rest of the week. She would deliver the babies, set the bones and saved the lives of Meredith for nearly a decade. Then one day (in this “true story”), someone called the authorities and she gets arrested for practicing medicine without a license. With the strength of her convictions and overwhelming odds , she decides to fight her case in court, and has the support of the entire town.
